    I can help in translation into Turkish but time I can devote will be limited and I will be on holiday next 4 weeks mostly offline, can the remaining 10 per cent sent to me as a file so that I can work on it offline? Otherwise I can help from August onwards. I suppose there is not a span of time set to finish. I have experience of Pootle from Koha translation.

  18. Anh Phan

    By the reason of non-activity in localizing native language of Vietnamese, I have deleted the name of user "Trần Đình Ngọc Anh" on the Localization List for Vietnamese.

    Besides, I also want to ask about:
    1. Can I translate a localized version of this site - cwiki - into Vietnamese version?
    2. Assume that this suggestion is accepted. Will I have to remake all the screenshots in Vietnamese or keep the original screenshots?
    3. Besides answering to this comment, please send me back an email for further contact.

    1. Christos Stefanidis

      I've placed into the list l10n about your requests. But I dont know if is a good idea to delete a name from a list... the follow up will continue there!

      1. Anh Phan

        I have seen your email about that issue on L10n Mailing List. And I have just replied to it.
        So, you have created the link for me such as the previous comment from Indonesian localization?
        Please give me that link.

  19. Anh Phan

    @ChrisStef: Please give me a link to activate the translation for cwiki page into Vietnamese.

    1. Christos Stefanidis

      Sorry I thought you referred to all the cwiki page, here we advice to translate the release notes of 4.0.0. Is that you want to help?

      1. Anh Phan

        I asked about the cwiki.apache.org.
        Each page in here I saw they have different translation of each one.
        That's what I meant.
        But, the release notes for 4.0.0 is also important to translate.

      2. Anh Phan

        1. Please give me the link to translate the release note of 4x
        2. Please give me the instrucstion and link to translate the whole Cwiki

        1. Christos Stefanidis

          Anh first of all I want to advice you something that I see you're doing it a lot. Please before place another comment/request allow someone to help you first. Dont forget here we all help each other, but many times we might be offline or unavailable. I understand your enthusiasm but be patient my friend... ;-) On the other hand its a good think, your help is needed!

          1. You can start: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Notes+(Vietnamese) on this child copy page.

          2. I dont think is available to translate the whole Cwiki!!!! You're really enthusiastic, well done. But the important is to finish your pootle work, how are you doing there? You have a dead line until 6-09-13 if you want to couch up the new release.

          Take care.

          1. Anh Phan

            Ok, I understood your concern, by that, I will restore the entry for username "Tran Dinh Thuc Anh" on this page.
            And I will write an email to the mailing list in which email you have sent to the L10n mailing list about this issues.

            1. Ok, I got the link from you.
            2. The deadline is Sep 6th, I got that information already in the mailing list for L10n.
            I promise and gurantee for the 100% in Vietnamese Localization.
            So why is there left unfinished status for my translation?
            Easily, the pootle server seems works fine with "single" po file. But it will get slower in the multiple po file feature when clicking on the link "unstranslated string".
            I dont know, the pootle server will improve their ability feature in speed for "multiple po file" or not, but, I am currently translating offline with some po file to push the progress more faster.
            3. Enthusiastic is a nice word to me, but I think that, my goal is not enthusiastic.
            As I have stated in the mailing list for L10n. The goal for me to join in the AOO is making a unification for both OpenOffice and Abiword.
            4. Besides, I also got problem in accessing the forum of AOO for Vietnamese Localization, the previous maintainers chose to perform it in a read-only mode by lacking of vietnamese maintainers and spam.
            But that's an another issues later Sep 6th.

            1. Christos Stefanidis

              - Yes Anh, I think this page list is more about organizing, give feedback to new volunteers and that someone could land here to just say that is state that he/she is available to help us. I should concern this and with others to state clear this and give us more instructions how and what propose is this page for, and make it clear by editing with more information here. What other committees have to say?

              Dont forget that the official list of volunteers could be found here:  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Directory+of+Volunteers as you probably know we are opensource so anyone can edit.

              1. Ok

              2. So you have finished offline by 100% the po files? How you upload it or sent to the list? Pootle server reports 95% you are in a good state.

              3. unification???

              4. I think you've placed a request on the list, you might report a bug, follow up that mails.

              1. Anh Phan

                2. I am currently translating, although the deadline is Sep 6th but I need to finish it in next week and give back the translation to the L10n then I will get a demo and testing for my translation.

                Good state is not enough, that's for the term of unification.

                3. What is about unification?
                I am fed up and tired of using the Vietnamese Localization because it contains many misunderstood term, created confusing emotion for users.
                Haruki Murakami has said about the thing when you are translating, that, when you do the translation, you are the second mother after the original biological mother.
                OO is a good, awesome program. But, in the hand of misunderstood term, being poor in displaying and interpreting, the Maya will come to that point and put a apocalypse with that confusion.

                I havent agreed much with the previous translation of OO.
                So, from now on, after this release on Sep 6th, 3 months later, till the Dec/Jan of 2014, another release would be pushed out, at the time, my goal for removing the confusion of Vietnamese Localization would be completed.

                Abiword will also be my goal along side with AOO.

                And I will have to do more with the documentation, taking screenshots, asking for giving me back the maintaining of AOO forums in Vietnamese,...

                I am going to set up a new forum named Vetati. At that forums, will contain over 250 projects, along with AOO, abiword, vlc, charka linux, xcfe.....

                yeah, more work to do.

                4. what request? what list? what bug? and follow what email?

                5 You should consider about making contact with me by private email.
